E IN FAVOR OF FAIR HONORS COURSE TAUGHT 14 LOCAL DELEGATION 4-POWER ALLIANG BEING CONSIDERED Multnomah Legislators Take Unanimous Stand- COMMITTEE IS NAMED Conferences to Be Held With Legal Committee in Preparation or State Tax Measure. In unanimous accord, members of the Multnomah legislative delegation expressed themselves as in favor of the 1925 fair at a meeting laat night beld with the exposition directors. A committee, consisting of five mem bers of the delegation, was appointed to confer with the legal committee of the fair board In the preparation of a tax measure to be submitted to the legislature for reference to the peo ple next May. A report will be made next Monday night. Senator Moser and Representative Kubli. the latter chairman of the dele gation, declared that the vote of 4 to 1 in Portland for the fair constituted a mandate from their constituents that the entire delegation get behind the state tux for the fair. Situation In Dineusned. The reports that several legislators outside of Multnomah county will propose plans for financing the ex position by means of a state income tax. a poll tax or some other tax, were referred to by Senator Moser. He read the ordinance passed by Portland and showed that this ordi nance specifically stipulates that Portland's $2,000,000 tax Is contingent on $1,000,000 raised by private sub scription and $3,000,000 by a state tax levy. The senator pointed out that inas much as the charter designates a state tax levy, the people of Port land would have to have another spe cial election to amend the charter again If a state income tax was in sisted on by the special session of the legislature instead of a state levy. Senator Banks Informed the fair directors present that they need not waste further time on the Multno mah delegation, but that the support of the directors will be needed with the uP-Btate members and the senator urged that the directors appear on the scene at Salem. By a rising vote, on motion of Mayor Baker, the direc tors promised to do so. Gordon Outline Position. Representative Gordon, who In clines toward a state income tax, put his position before his colleagues and the directors. He said he would vote for the bill prepared by the fair directors for a tax on real property If It was the best one submitted for the consideration of the legislature. Advantages which will accrue to the state by reason of the 1926 fair were outlined briefly by Franklin T. Griffith, William M. Ktllingsworth, John P. Paly, J. L. Meier, Robert Strong. Mayor Baker and others. Each speaker indicated that the ben efits will be greater to the state as a whole than to Portland in partic ular. On the committee to draft a tax bill with the legal committee of the fair board were named Representa tives Hindman and Korrell and Sena trs Banks, Moser and Joseph. Nightgowns and Cooties Among 500 Exhibits. Inventory Tank of Supreme Court Clerk -o Snmll One. SALEM. Or.. Dec. 5. (Special.) A woman's nightgown Introduced In evidence in a sensational divorce case tried recently In Clackamas county, a bottle containing a large number of cooties which figured prominently in a divorce action started in eastern Oregon, and some corBet stays and bones which were essential to the prosecution in Identifying the body of Edna Morgan of Douglas county, are among the 500 or more exhibits now in possession of the Oregon sir preme court which will be Inventoried soon after January 1. The task of making the inventory will fall upon Arthur Benson, clerk of the supreme court. Included in the exhibits also are boat models, draw ings of stage scenery, revolvers, guns, valentines, a Cinderella slipper, saddle, fiddle, cornet, bottle of the original moonshine liquor manufactured In Linn county, books and records in the celebrated Oregon & California land grant case, concrete pavement blocks, models of power lines and "a nasty little scrapbook." The scrapbook, It was said, played an important part in one of the most sensational divorce cases ever heard by the Oregon su preme court. The exhibits in the case involving the death of Edna Morgan probably are more numerous than those in any single action appealed to the supreme court In recent years. The body of Miss Morgan was found in the ruins of an old barn near Glendale and was Identified by corset stays, bones, small pieces of cloth, shoes and trink ets. Roy Farnum was arrested for the murder, and after ueing tried four times in the Douglas county courts was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. Many of the exhibits figured in cases Involving prominent people of this state, and in a number of In stances no names were attached to prove their Identification.

Thirteen exceptional Barnard college students have been selected for an educational experi ment which .rims to make of them scholars and specialists in their chos en subjects. Instead of having them kept at work on the prescribed courses with their 700 less brilliant sisters. Dean Virginia G. Glldersleeve, who recently returned after making a study of European university meth ods, announced the new course re sembling the honors course of the English universities. Too much time has been spent in the past on poor students and not enough on good ones, she said. "This plan," she explained, "Is an effort to avoid some of the faults characteristic of our American col lege system; for example, that of forcing a student to spend a great deal of her time In classrooms listen ing to lectures ana running to and fro from various college engage ments. "It also attempts to counteract the tendency to think of scholarship In terms of courses, grades and points rather than subjects of fields of knowledge and that unfortunate American tendency to split up one's knowledge into half-yearly frag ments which are forgotten quickly after the midyear and final examina tions." Among the students chosen for the new course and their subjects are: Botany. Nelly Jacob. Gall, Switzer land; English, Anna E. Lincoln, 1303 North Dearborn avenue, Chicago, and Margaret Truster, Indianapolis; French, Phyllis Halg. Haigvllle, Neb.; Greek and Latin. Dorothy F. Scholze of Providence. R. I.; physics.

RATIO QUESTION DELAYED Delegates Are Thought to Bo Con- fering With Governments as to Approval of Entente. (Continued From Firat Page.-) of his government to act circum spectly in so important a decision. Meantime the conference outwardly is concerning itself with questions of collateral slgnilicance. The committee on draft, headed by Ellhu Root, today debated foreign telegraph and radio facilities in Chicago, virtually decid ing to bring In a resolution provid ing that as many of these facilities ps exist without treaty sanction shall have only a curtailed use hereafter. The Shantung conversations, pro ceeding between the Japanese and Chinese were advanced another step. but developed no Important decisions. Open Session Likely. The committee of the whole on the far east is to meet Wednesday. An open session of the conference may be held late in the week. The American belief that the naval question can be settled independent of political issues, apparently is not readily accepted in all quarters. A British spokesman recently declared that in the British view the naval and far eastern problems were bound up in the same sheaf and there have been indications of a like opinion among some Japanese. It is considered possible that In the period of waiting the two threads ot negotiations may become so tangled in the foreign capitals as to give American delegates considerable trouble in separating them when the discussions here are resumed. Ideas Credited to Premier. The proposal for a four-power en tente as now advanced, is considered an outgrowth of the suggestion of David Lloyd George made several weeks ago In parliament that the Washington conference might well consider merging the Anglo-Japanese alliance into an arrangement to which the United States would be a party. The Japanese have shown an inclina tion to take up that proposal and It has been mentioned more than once to the American delegates. These hints have never brought the subject to the point of a formal ex change of views, however. In every consiaeration of a possible treaty or international understanding to replace the alliance, the American delegates have kept in mind the pos sible temper of the senate should it be asked to ratify such an agreement. An "understanding" would not re quire senate confirmation, but it is conjectural how binding an agree ment of that character President Harding and his plenipotentiaries would care to effect. TIME LOST IS NOT COUNTED America Takes No Credit for De lay Due to War. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. (By the Associated Press.) While the United States did not seek any allowance in the American proposal for limitation of naval armaments for delays in the American building programme Inci dent to the world war. such an allow ance was made for Great Britain in fixing the "60-65-30" naval ratio for the proposed ten-year building holi day. This has attracted attention In naval circles here to the fact that actually about two years was lost on the American programme due to the war, while Japan continued build ing practically unchecked. It is from this situation, it was pointed out today, that it is now possible for Japanese 3xperts to pre sent any claim for the 70 per cent ratio they have sought as against the proposed "5-5-3" status.' But for the war, all of the 16 capital ships the United States has offered to scrap without completion would now b? with the fleet. Japan, on the other tiand, it was said, continued to build throughout the war and achieved a position as to completed ships on that account, she could not otherwise have reached. Secretary Daniels in June, 1917, after entrance of the United States into the war, ordered work on capital ships virtually stopped 'n favor of rush construction of destroyers to cope w'th German submarines. It was a year before any thought was given to the capital ships and prac tically two years before work on them could be resumed. The navy department, however, took advantage of the situation to redesign the six battle cruisers twice to incorporate war lessons In con struction. The effect of the rush work on de stroyers was to put the American navy practically first in this vital arm of modern navies. The Japanese strength In destroyers s almost neg ligible in comparison, officers sal.t, yet no attempt to seek advantage in naval ratio on this score was made by Secretary Hughes. In the came way, it was added. Japan stands far below even a 50 per cent ratio 'n sub marine strength and this also applies practically to every other auxiliary arm. ALLIANCE GAINS MUCH FAVOR Foreign Office Seems to Think Plan Is Possible, It Is Said. TOKIO, Dec. 5. (By the Associated Press.) Special dispatches and news agency reports from "Vashlngton that a four-power alliance, agreement or understanding for the Pacific was under discussion as a possible substi tute for the Anglo-Japanese alliance found ready credence in unofficial Circles today, the suggestion being widely and favorably commented upon. Morning newspapers appear to regard such an entente as likely to prove the philosopher's stone for the solution of many of the conference's problems. By the Inclusion of France with Great Britain, Japan and the United States, it is argued, America would find less difficulty in entering the proposed association, while France would be rescued from possible isola tion. Great Britain and Japan, It is pointed out. wouK have nothing to complain of, since the fundamental object of the Anglo-Japanese compact would be attained and given greater authority through French participa tion. The official view, as It seems to be reflected In the newspapers, is some what less confident, especially that cf the naval authorities. The latter lay emphasis upon the contention that such an entente would be purely a political affair and argue that it 23 DAYS TO GO The Gray Stock Must Be Closed Out Before December 31st The fixtures have been sold, the lease has been signed over to a prominent clothing firm, and now the stock must be sold out to the last dollar, regardless of cost or profit.

The state ment that It "was unlikely that Lloyd George will come to the Washington conference" was made late today by a member of the British arms dele gation. While no direct word has been re ceived of Lloyd George's intentions the British official declared unoffi cial advices plainly indicated that the British premier would not be able to make the trip. The serious turn in the Irish negotiations and other pressing domestic matters, he added, would keep the premier at home.

SPECIALS FOR MEN R. M. GRAY TIN DETAINED BY AUTOS! . MACHINES SKID OFF WET LINNTON PAVEMENT. Truck, Trying to Dodge Upturned Car, Runs Into Ditch, and Two Machines Follow. Five automobiles successfully con spired to delay the Rainier local of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle rail way early last night at a point about three miles north of Linnton, by skidding and cutting other capers on the Linnton road near the right of way. The automobile in which Vin cent Williams, painter, was riding, slipped from the pavement, slid down a steep Incline and dropped 15 feet into a cut and onto the railroad track Williams was cut about the head, not seriously, and the train wu flagged at Scappoose. A fine mist had wet the pavement, which was greasy. An automobile traveling at a fair rate of speed skidded and turned turtle In the ditch, the front half of the machine protruding onto the road. The driver was unhurt and has not been identi fied yet. A truck driver, in attempt ing to dodge the upturned car, ran his own machine Into the ditch, losing two wheels. Two touring cars fol lowed the truck, attempting a sud den stop and skidding into the ditch. Then the Williams car arrived. The driver tried to miss the stalled ma chines by driving on the left-hand side of the road. Portland bound, but his machine followed the leader and hurtled through a wire fence, down the hill and onto the track. A. L. Campbell of the Campbell Give Your Hair A Treat!
